Quite literally, both the men this article focuses on, are losers in the most recent elections they ran for. Figurately, both men are losers beyond that as well.
They are losers and traitors because they deceive their motherland by constantly potraying a negative image of their culture and people to foreign governments, the foreign press and even their country’s enemies. They are losers and self centered because they always, without an exception and regardless of the nation’s circumstances (even during times of terrorist attacks) put their self interests ahead of the national interest.
They are losers and cowardly because they dishonor and downplay the courage and sacrifice of the nation’s armed forces. They are losers and hypocritical because they apply different standards to people and events based on personal preferences. They are losers because they have unfailingly and consistently played the minority appeasement card at the expense of the Hindus on whose backs, their families and themselves have made their substantial fortunes. They are losers because they lack the decency to unconditionally support the country in times of foreign intrusion and agression.
They are losers and delusional because they are sulking, un-sportive, failed politicians refusing to accept the reality of their poor performance and the people’s rejection of their ideology. They are both losers with a common electoral-loss – both of these arrogant, priviledged, casanovas whp lost to two women of their arch enemy and nemesis, the BJP. Kamal Haasan lost to BJP’s Vanathi Srinivasan in Coimbatore South Assembly Constituency and Rahul Gandhi lost to BJP’s Smriti Irani in Amethi Lok Sabha Constituency.
This loser duo met with each other at Rahul’s Delhi home. On December 24 last year, Kamal Haasan had made a big show of joining Rahul’s politically motivated ‘Bharat Jodo yatra’ in Delhi, instead of joining the same in his home state of Tamil Nadu. Afterall, joining a political walkathon in a different state preferably in the capital of the nation, is bound to bring him more publicity since he doesn’t get enough political mileage even when he tries making a loud political noise about a perceived, supposed “imposition” of Hindi in Tamil Nadu.
Losers coming together over a well anticipated, clichéd anti-BJP rant and exaggerated claims of “democracy is in danger”, “loss of freedom” and “rising hatred” is not surprising at all.
Irony just died a thousand deaths when Kamal talks about current dispensation resembling a monarchy to the Congress’ monarch himself.
The purpose of publicity is served better in the national capital and of course, not to be forgotten is the political opportunism in the form of fishing for alliances for the next elections. The 68 year old actor-turned-part time politician, Kamal Haasan hopes to recover from the miserable performance of his party in both the 2019 national elections and the 2021 state elections.
The following was predictably and supposedly discussed by the new brothers-in-arms (they are the nation’s experts on such matters!): “dangers” to the Constitution, criticism of everything BJP and Modi, border security and Chinese aggression, comparing India with Ukraine, importance of Gandhian politics as an alternative to “religious” politics, the future of the Kaadi industry, inclusive (read minority appeasement) growth, the economy, youth welfare, language imposition and others. Kamal listened to Rahul’s “genius” discovery of supposed links between Chinese agression and India’s economy even though the world’s experts on economic growth have consistently stated that the Indian economy was doing quite well inspite of a global recession.
Critics pointed out Rahul’s lack of knowledge on national security and factual information regarding border-security and commented on his “concern” for the Kaadi industry, which according to the latest statistics has had a remarkable revival and is doing well, thanks to PM Modi’s push.
Later, the two losers complimented each other’s dashing looks and “other” artistic talents, which are certainly crucial to matters of national security and economic planning?
While speaking during the Yatra walkathon in Delhi on December 24, Kamal had stated “many people ask me why I’m here. I’m here as an Indian. My father was a Congressman. I had various ideologies and started my own political party but when it comes to the country, all political party lines have to blur. I blurred that line and came here.”
In Kamal’s case, it’s clear which way the wind is blowing for him and his struggling party – an aged citizen, an actor in his twilight years trying to revive his fortunes, a man given opportunities and fame by the majority Hindu community yet always indulging in minority appeasement, an arrogant, self-righteous man desperate for a political alliance for his completely unsuccessful party.
The people have sensed their deviousness, their hypocrisy and their ungratefulness. The people will keep them voted out and keep voting them out no matter how much they try.
It is expected that Kamal’s MNM may strike an alliance with Rahul Gandhi’s Congress ahead of the 2024 Lok Sabha elections. And the alliance is in fact a match made in heaven. Both were sent running helter-skelter by the same woman. Both lost their political ground to two bold BJP women. Both think of themselves as highly intellectual when they aren’t. Both are non-serious politicians who go away on vacations often. MNM and Congress – Ek Duuje Ke Liye.
Appu Pappu Beech Mein…. Ektuje Keliye Part 2🤣
